About a decade ago, entertainment options in
Egypt, especially outside Cairo, were rather
limited. However, today touristic cities like
Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab,
Hurghada, and Marsa Alam offer a wide range of
entertainment means for travelers of all
ages. Away from the common bars, restaurants,
discos, and cafès that tourists can find almost
everywhere around the Nile, especially in larger
cities, are some other entertainment options that
would interest tourists visiting Egypt from all
regions of the world.

There is Egypt Today, one of the most famous
Egyptian magazines which is published in English,
and it provides coverage of the cultural and
artistic events taking place in the whole
country. Other examples would include Al Ahram
Weekly, The Middle East Times, the Cairo Times,
and more. On the other hand, many websites and
Facebook pages provide rich information about
different events and various entertainment means
in Egypt in a large scope of languages as well.

Arabic Music
For the fans of Arabic Music and different types
of oriental tunes, the Cairo Opera House and the
Sayed Dervish Theatre in Alexandria are the best
places to attend a live Arabic music concert. In
Islamic Cairo, especially on public holidays and
during the holy month of Ramadan, there are
usually music evenings and theatre productions in
Beit Zeinab Khatoun a historical house located
behind the famous Azhar Mosque, and Beit El
Haraway, another famous house constructed in the
17th century in Islamic Cairo.

The Whirling Dervishes Tanoora Dance Show
Whirling dervishes, or Tanoora dancing,
performances absolutely encapsulate all that
Egyptian culture is. Many Nile Cruise ships which
travel from Luxor to Aswan, and vise versa, offer
a Tanoora dance show as part of their
entertainment program. The same goes for dinner
cruise sailing down the Nile in Cairo.

The most famous place to watch the
best-whirling dervishes show would be the Wikala
of El Ghoury, located in the Azhar area, in front
of the entrance to Khan El Khalili touristic
market. The Wikala offers a Tanoora dance show
every Saturday and Wednesday at 9 p.m. The
performance lasts for about an hour and a half
and it is totally free of charge.

Belly Dancing Performances
Although the origins of belly dancing in Egypt
dates back to the Pharaonic period, most of
today's performances depend primarily on the
blending of folk, gypsy, and ottoman patterns of
movements. Many Nile Cruise ships in Egypt in
Luxor, Aswan, and Cairo offers their guests with
a short belly dance performance. Moreover,
nightclubs in many cities around the country,
especially in larger hotels, have a permanent
belly dance performance every night.

In Alexandria, the theatre of Sayed Darwish and

the French, Italian, or the German consulates.
Many cultural centers around Cairo organize a
number of concerts for performing western

organize live classical western music to be
